A tree in a dense wood. The trunk is divided in two and the larger part (on the left) has a big cavity with a small one above it. Together they look like a wide open mouth and an eye. To either side are two large multifoliate leaves that look like jazz hands. The effect is quite striking and looks almost like a sculpture.
A view from a bridge over a stream. The stream is in the foreground, with a brown gravel bed, seen through the branches of an overhanging willow tree. The stream is lined with tall wild flowers. In the distance is a glimpse of a green meadow with more trees and bushes. The predominant colour is a lush green.
A coastal view across miles of grass and sand. A distant headland on the horizon has some tall structures... The sky is lightly overcast but the visibility is good.
Four pictorial warning signs (on the wall of a Welsh castle). I think they mean: Hold children's hands Slippery surfaces Trip and fall hazards Risk of bird attack
A clear, colourless balloon floating in a dim bar room. We are looking up at it and the ceiling is pale. Reflected on the balloon's surface are many small bright spots of light and two images of a portrait of a woman on a nearby wall. One of the images is inverted.
A sumptuously furnished room in Sandon Hall, Staffordshire. Large sofas and a beautiful Persian style carpet.
Photo of a prayer desk standing on a patterned tile floor, lit by sunlight through a stained glass window from the right, which is also making a splash of colour on the white wall behind.
Interior photo of Lichfield Cathedral, looking over the heads of the congregation towards a suspended crucifix high above the altar.
A coastal footpath, winding along a cliff top with a view of a wide calm bay to the left
A view of Wells cathedral from the Bishop's palace gardens, with a large pond in the foreground.
Shadow of a colander, showing the partial eclipse as the holes act as pinhole cameras
A square squat wooden platform with 6 legs, roughly covered with beige carpet.
